Abstract
Lead free (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state reaction route. For single perovskite phase formation, calcination temperature was optimized at 850°C for 6 h, whereas for dense morphology the sintering of the ceramic was carried out at 1120°C for 4 h. X-ray diffraction XRD analysis confirmed the formation of single phase with orthorhombic structure at room temperature. Impedance analysis and AC conductivity studies of the KNN sample was carried out in the temperature range of 703–773 K. Impedance study showed the increase in conducting behavior at higher temperature. The temperature dependence of AC conductivity indicated that the conduction process is due to doubly ionized oxygen vacancies in the higher temperature region.
